Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Covius plans to close the deal in the next month or two if it can obtain required approvals and consents, and retain key senior management and operating team members. The additions will increase its total staff to more than 600 employees. Covius plans to maintain Chronos' offices in Rainbow City, Ala.; Long Beach, Calif.; Nashville, Tenn.; Austin and Coppell, Texas; and Spokane Valley, Wash.
